[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I was [D]sittin' in a
truckstop
[G]Watchin' tumbleweeds roll [D]by
Tryin' to read the menu
When the [A]waitress caught my eye
[D]She pulled a pencil from her hair
And [G]leaned across the bar
[D]I did my best not to stare
But [A]man, she made [D]it hard[G]
I [D]asked that trucker

[Verse 2]
next to me
Hey, [G]what looks good [D]today
He said I know what's on your mind
[A]And boy, there ain't no way
[D]Get yourself some apple pie
And [G]something cool to drink
I [D]know you want the special
[A]And I like the way [D]you think[G][D]

[Verse 3]
But [G]you can't have the waitress
Boy, [D]everybody's tried
There's a [A]cowboy down in Abilene
Who [D]keeps her satisfied
They got a [G]hundred acre
dream
That's gettin' [D]closer [G]every day
Just a [D]few more plates of ham [G]and eggs
And a [A]few good rides [D]away[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Hard times hit West Texas
Damn near [G]everything's [D]for sale
But there's somethings we hold sacred
When [A]everything else fails
[D]When we're down to nothing
Out here, [G]everybody shares
[D]Most of us have lost our dreams
So [A]we bought into [D]theirs[G]
I've [D]seen her walk a

[Verse 5]
hundred miles
[G]Up and down this [D]floor
I've never seen her fail to smile
When [A]he limps through that door
[D]So when you're done, you leave a tip
And [G]make it nice and fat
And feel [D]lucky you can own a piece
Of [A]something like [D]that

[Verse 6]
But [G]you can't have the waitress
Boy, [D]everybody's tried
There's a [A]cowboy down in Abilene
Who [D]keeps her satisfied
They got a [G]hundred acre
dream
That's gettin' [D]closer every [G]day
Just a [D]few more plates [G]of ham and eggs
And a [A]few good rides [D]away

[Verse 7]
